How do I set up Jaxx Liberty wallet?

Jaxx Liberty is the updated fully-featured version of the Jaxx multi-currency wallet. It turns Jaxx from a straightforward cryptocurrency wallet into a complete ecosystem, with a newsfeed, additional customization options, built-in block explorer and more.

Other than creating a new wallet, you can also migrate or pair an existing wallet with Jaxx Liberty.

How to create a new Jaxx Liberty wallet

The steps for setting up your Jaxx Liberty wallet will be similar whether you’re setting it up for the first time or migrating your Jaxx wallet to Jaxx Liberty.

To get a new Jaxx Liberty wallet:

Download the application. There’s an app for iOs and Android, downloads for Windows, Linux and OS X and a browser extension for Chrome.

Run the program and click “create new wallet,” then review the terms and conditions.

Once you accept the terms and conditions you’ll find yourself on the home screen.

How to migrate an existing wallet to Jaxx Liberty

How secure is Jaxx Liberty?

Software wallet. Jaxx is a software wallet, and so doesn’t offer the same level of security against remote hacking as hardware wallets do. But you may be able to use certain hardware wallets in combination with Jaxx for added security.

Password protection. You can set up a password to protect the contents of your wallet. If you choose, you will be asked for the password before performing sensitive functions such as ShapeShifting or sending a transaction.

Locally-stored private keys. Your private keys and backup phrases are only stored on your device. Jaxx does not have any access to them, and is not able to freeze or tamper with your digital assets in any way.

Backup restoration. You can back up your private keys or restore them on a newly downloaded Jaxx Liberty wallet, or another device, through the use of a standard 12-word seed phrase.

It’s essential that you keep your recovery seed phrase safe, so consider using it in combination with a recovery backup device such as a CryptoSteel or Billfodl.

Frequently asked questions

Jaxx users have never been hacked through vulnerabilities on Jaxx’s end. However, due to its popularity a lot of users may have lost funds through security errors on their own end. For example, using an unsecure Wi-Fi network, or running Jaxx on a computer with malware.

Hardware wallets are recommended to protect against these issues.

If you forget your Jaxx Liberty password, you can still recover your funds by creating a new wallet and then restoring it with your recovery/seed phrase.

If you lose your recovery phrase you can still sign into your Jaxx Liberty account and view your own private keys or generate a new recovery phrase.

If you simultaneously forget your password and lose your recovery phrase, you will be unable to access your funds.

You can contact the Jaxx support team through the website or through social media.
